    Ok, based on what you said, you have a PowerMac G4 with Gigabit Ethernet. You need an AirPort Card, get one like the one here, and here. Here are some instructions for installing the card.

    That machine is more than 11 years old, so don't expect stellar performance from it. You should get some more RAM as well, check here. The machine you have takes up to a maximum of 2GB of RAM.

    If you get the machine working, get a copy of Ten Four Fox, a version of Firefox for the PowerMac, and hope you don't encounter any Adobe Flash as you use the internet.

    Good luck!
